Front bumpers with RV towability?
I figure this is the best place to start asking...
What aftermarket front bumpers are compatible with either adding a baseplate or as is for attaching a front tow bar for RV towing. I want to get something with more clearance than the OEM bumper so the tires don't bump the wings at max articulation. Might cut them off but a new bumper could work too.

I have an old Blue Ox towbar that could probably be successfully mounted on almost any bumper with a flat face on the front (with appropriate backing plates).
I see you have a Demco baseplate and I am not sure if any of the aftermarket bumper builders are working around anybody's baseplate.

We flat tow our Ruby when going wheeling a long distance away from home, 50+ miles one way.
We got a tow bar from U-haul and had it modified at the joining point, took the 1/2" pipe off and moded in 2 flat plates per side to be able to use the large clevase tabs on the front of our warn bumper.

Thanks for the input so far on a possible front aftermarket bumper that can accomodate flat towing. I don't care if I cannot use my Demco tow bar although I would like to keep it ideally. My personal favorite for a new bumper is the LoD full bumper which has hoops for D-rings I just haven't received a reply from LoD is to whether or not the holes can be opened up a bit to accomodate the larger pins most towbars have. Still on the hunt.

I just installed a MOPAR winch bumper and then added a set of Roadmaster tow brackets to pull the Rubicon behind my motorhome. I also installed an aux braking system manufactured by SMI inc.
